Alas, my love, you do me wrong, To cast me off discourteously. For I have loved you well and long, Delighting in your company.
Chorus: Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady Greensleeves.
I have been ready at your hand, To grant whatever you would crave, I have both wagered life and land, Your love and good-will for to have.
Chorus: Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady Greensleeves.
Well, I will pray to God on high, that thou my constancy mayst see, And that yet once before I die, Thou wilt vouchsafe to love me.
Chorus: Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady Greensleeves.
Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu, To God I pray to prosper thee, For I am still thy lover true, Come once again and love me.
Chorus: Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady Greensleeves. ------------------------------------------- a) Variations sur Passomezzo antico b) Greensleeves (version la plus ancienne) c) Version contemporaine W.Cobbold) d) Version ''The Beggar's Opera'' e) Version irlandaises
